The Citrus Summer Sweater is a perfect, lightweight cover-up designed in Moonglow Yarn Co’s beautiful Lemonade Fade. This design is inspired by all the wonderful aspects of summer—such as refreshing cocktails, strawberry lemonade, sunsets, citrus fruits, beach vacations, poolside days, sunny weather, and warm breezes. It has a fluttery and airy feel, featuring a lace pattern that I’ve named Summer Citrus because it reminds me of lemon slices.

The sweater is knit flat in two pieces, worked from the bottom up, and then seamed together.
